A Roane County man died this week from hypothermia, Roane County Medical Examiner Dr. Thomas Boduch confirmed. Evans Mortuary is handling the funeral arrangements and identified the victim as 44-year-old Tony Dean Stanley.

“He was found yesterday (Wednesday),” Boduch said. “We can’t be sure exactly when the death occurred, but sometime between Sunday and yesterday.”

Boduch said Stanley, who lived south of Rockwood near the Rhea County line, was last seen alive Sunday.

Roane County's upcoming property reappraisal is now out of the hands of the man who pledged to lower them on the campaign trail almost three years ago.

Over Property Assessor David Morgan's pleas for his office to continue to work on the appraisals, the State Board of Equalization voted unanimously Thursday afternoon in Nashville for the state to take over the task.

Officials Thursday discussed the icing and tree situation around the county.

“We’ve got a lot of areas of the county that are in pretty good shape now,” Roane County Executive Ron Woody said. “The situation that we really have to monitor the next two days is ... we have a lot of trees leaning over the roads in certain areas.... We’re also expecting some more bad weather coming in Friday night/early Saturday morning.”

According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Terrance A. Clark was headed east in a Toyota Tacoma pickup truck when a Chevy TrailBlazer driven by Robin W. Ledbetter crossed the center line and struck him head on.

Clark, 46, was killed. Two passengers in the Tacoma, 45-year-old Tabatha D. Clark and 15-year-old Leaf A. Clark, were injured.
